CIPHER SISTEMS are coded and encrypted structures we see in nature as a phenomenon of scale. Their fractal appearance in certain morphologies, diversifying in size, is an intriguing aspect for morphogenetic design. The reappearing relationship of macro and micro patterns found in different states of physicality in a variety of environments is leading to an understanding about emergence and the connectivity between systems. Thus, the MUTATING ARCHITECTURE studio will analyse, evaluate, & decrypt reoccurring natural patterns and explore possibilities of their application on visionary scenarios in futuristic city context. . . .
